#1 Poor Korea, the Belgium of Asia, too often caught between two big warring nations. The rough translation from the Hangul/Korean is - when whales fight, shrimps backs are broken.

#4 'direct translation' by badanov

badanov has a gift for languages. He taught himself Russian for some of the wargames he wanted to play, as I recall, then Spanish so he could do the narco war in Mexico for us, and subsequently Ukrainian to cover that beat. The Regnum translation, y’all will note, is much too smooth and correct to be merely a machine translation.
